Empanadas Restaurants in New York, NY

“Taste just like my Argentinian friend cooked it!) 💛💛💛 Great stuff“

“The beans are flavorful and the flat white wasn’t bitter. I didn’t find the flat white as masterfully crafted as desired on top of paying a premium of $10 for an 8oz flat white. I appreciate and respect the original design of a flat white, which is essentially a more compact latte with smooth, silky milk conjoined with espresso. However this didn’t truly live up to the craft coffee expectations.

Owner took the trouble to explain all latte options though.“

“I was looking for a place specifically to work on my laptop for a couple hours. This popped to the top of the list. Sweet upstairs loft with good wifi and power outlets. Coffee is excellent, and the treats are great. I walked a few blocks to check it out and totally worth it.“

“Went to the brand new Houston location and things are a bit rocky with staffing and supplies but I want to brag on your employee CAMILLA ! We came from NC and after visiting Puerto Rico several times I was so excited for this experience! She was so patient with us! Answered all our questions with a very helpful and cheerful attitude even tho she was drowning in drink orders! With only one other helper, she never showed any frustration and provided excellent above and beyond customer service! The cashier with her was brand new and super sweet as well! Camilla even gave me a hug when we left! She made my whole morning! And gave us the absolute best breakfast recommendation as well! Thank u so much Camilla for your grace and kindness this morning. U had no idea that my Morning started out so crappy, and your sweet personality and loving spirit really turned my day around and the tres leches latte was AMAZING 🙌🏼🩷💯 yall go see them and be patient …..it’s worth the wait ❤️ side note… the whole place is decorated beautifully! Love the swings ✅“

“My latte. Wow. Amazing. And the ladies were so sweet too!“

“Pricey but tasty! Love the iced rum-infused Coquito latte, but you can’t really go wrong with any of them! Packaging for iced drinks is really cute and the theme and culture make the coffee feel really unique. Pastries are also solid. There was one time we came about a hour after opening time but the doors were still locked and the person inside told us they were closed which was weird…but usually the service is also pretty friendly and helpful.“

“Walked past here to avoid the rain. I ordered a hibiscus tea, and it was very refreshing! The seating is comfy and the vibes are chill. Selam and Max were so friendly and welcoming (especially because I don’t drink coffee), they were able to recommend me different drinks without being pushy at all. Thank you guys!“

“An absolute must-visit for steak lovers in NYC! The moment you walk into Palermo Argentinian Bistro, the cozy, rustic atmosphere sets the perfect mood. We started with the beef empanadas, which were fried to a flawless, shatteringly crisp golden brown. For the main event, the skirt steak was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with authentic Argentine flavor—especially when paired with their vibrant chimichurri. Service was fast and welcoming, and the wine selection perfectly complemented the meal. Don't sleep on the flan with dulce de leche for dessert. I will absolutely be back!“

“Incredible space. Incredible people that work there. I hosted an event here, and couldn’t recommend them enough. If you are looking to host a dinner or event and want to work with kind people AND have an amazing time with great food, this is THE space.“

“What an easy, laid back place! This was such a good find- I’ll definitely be coming back.

Jonathan was super helpful and gracious- made everyone feel at ease and at home- he answered my litany of questions easily and without judgement;). I fear that all the positive reviews would made this place too busy for me to visit (I like the hide my favorite places) but this one was so unique, it deserves a great review!“

“If you want a small, healthy snack and a good coffee, this is the place. Very good choices of music and friendly service as well, especialy Charlie. I usually come at closing and he is so good at cleaning and making things pristine.❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I enjoy tasting empanadas from all types of places. Empanada Mama is by far the best of any place I’ve ever tasted!! The portions were stunning, the food was full of flavor, the menu is large, and the dessert empanadas are just as amazing as the savory ones! Definitely some comfort food right here ❤️ Amazing delivery as well“

“Food is good and service was good from the dark skinned gentleman.

I was charged an additional $4 for a happy hour drink. But the lady server told me that it was because I was supposed to ask for the happy hour price, and then when I pointed out the my friends did not do that. She made another excuse.

All together decent but that definitely left a bad taste. No reason lie or manipulate your customers.“

“The food here is really good!!!

I unfortunately came on a Friday night (avoid Friday nights eating in, just order out) and they were very short staffed. My waiter was friendly but I asked for a on the rocks margarita and got frozen, I asked for tap water, never got it and i never received utensils. The music was incredibly loud. But it’s nyc on a Friday night.

The Good: The woman in the back was a BOSS!!! running everything! She was so sweet and handled everyone with care. It seemed she was also responsible for the online orders which looked overwhelming.

The green salsa sauce was amazing and soooo good! Don’t change the recipe!

The food again was delicious. Really large portions. Take it easy or go ham!

Next time I would just order out.“

“I used to eat here before with old management and now the ambient and our waiter was so nice, he suggested as the steak chopped and it was fabulous we ate twice! We loved the specials rice ball staffed with broccoli! Now its became one of my favourite spot here for Italian and Argentinian food!“

“I recently ordered from Goat Bakeshop. Everything was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and tasted. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The ordering process through their website was super smooth, and the customer service was top-notch. I will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommended!“

“Hole in the wall in a very good way!“

“Best after hour spot.. ��� delicious food“

“BB Empanadas is the definition of fast, friendly, and flavorful. The service is consistently great — you pop in, grab your food, and you’re on your way in no time. Perfect for a quick bite without sacrificing quality. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious empanadas with zero hassle.“

“This is the best smoothie place hands down. You need to get your smoothie done by a girl, not a guy. Preferably the chunky girl.They make it perfect. Not too liquidated, just perfect frothy texture. Anytime I cheat on this place I’m like why did I do it? And they make the beeestttt empanadas. Not too oily , just perfectly cooked. I love this place. And thank god I don’t live near because I would easily weigh 600 pounds.“

“Great place to eat - we need to support our mom and pop restaurants!“

“A Taste of Havana in the Heart of NYC!

Sophie’s Cuban at Bryant Park is an absolute gem! The incredibly flavorful dishes makes every visit feels like a mini getaway to Cuba. My all-time favorite meal is the shredded beef (ropa vieja) with black beans, yellow rice, and sweet plantains—each bite is packed with authentic, savory goodness. The beef is tender, the rice is perfectly seasoned, and the caramelized plantains add just the right touch of sweetness.

And let’s talk about their chicken empanadas—don’t be fooled, these are NOT your average empanadas! The flaky, golden crust gives way to juicy, well-seasoned chicken that sets Sophie’s apart from any other chain. It’s clear they put love and tradition into every dish.

Whether you’re craving classic Cuban comfort food or just discovering the cuisine, Sophie’s never disappoints. The Bryant Park location is convenient, the service is friendly, and the flavors are unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!“

“the best I've had in years“

“Always delicious! Literally never disappointed!“

“Another fantastic lunch at Sophie's Cuban in Tribeca! The baked chicken entree is my favorite - nicely seasoned, tender, and flavorful. It comes with generous portions of sides that complement the dish beautifully. The casual, welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot for a quick lunch or leisurely meal. Service is always friendly and efficient. Sophie's continues to deliver authentic Cuban flavors that keep me coming back. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!“

“This place has THE best chicken soup I've had in new york city, which includes all 5 boroughs. It has an incredibly rich flavor and tender fall of the bone meat. Sometimes its a bit inconsistent with flavor, with some days being more flavorful than others, but when you get it on the right day it heals your soul“

“Mariscos (seafood mix) and the Camarones (shrimp) are the best empanadas I've ever eaten!!!! Great job!“
